    Question

    Plant nodulation genes encode proteins with receptor-like features. Following are the list of some nodulation proteins (Column X) and their possible domain characteristics (Column Y):

    Which of the following is the correct match?

    A.

    A - i; B - ii; C - iii

    B.

    A - ii; B - iii; C - i

    C.

    A - iii; B - ii; C - i

    D.

    A - i; B - iii; C - ii

    Correct option is B

    Explanation-

    1. Entry receptor (e.g., NFR1/NFR5 in legumes)
             These are LysM-type receptor-like kinases. Some have a kinase domain, others lack it. Therefore, Entry receptors are typically:
             A → ii  Extracellular LysM domains and the cytoplasmic kinase domain/s
    2. Signalling receptor
             If it's a non-kinase receptor with LysM domains only

    B → iii  Extracellular LysM domains but lacks the kinase features in the cytoplasmic portion

    3. Symbiosis receptor kinase
             Generally contains a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain and an active kinase domain.
             Thus, C → i  Extracellular leucine-rich repeat domains in a large N-terminal segment and the  cytoplasmic portion having kinase domain

    Final Answer: Option b - A - ii, B - iii, C - i
